Emerson, Lake & Palmer - The Sheriff Lyrics

Font:      
Align:    
  • (emerson - lake)
  • Wicked josie rode away
  • In the sunset covered sky
  • A lynching mob had strung his friend up
  • Right before his eyes
  • He didnt know what theyd both done
  • He sure as hell would end up one
  • A hot tin notch on the sheriffs gun
  • If he didnt move on
  • Get out of here
  • The sheriff followed josies journey
  • >from kansas in the west
  • He said hed put a bullet right
  • Through poor old josies chest
  • But josie wasnt like the rest
  • He dont like bullet holes in his vest
  • In fact hed do his very best
  • Dont want any arrest
  • Dont want to be the guest
  • Of the sheriff
  • The nights got so damned cold
  • He couldnt stand the pace
  • He looked again for sheriffs men
  • But couldnt see the chase
  • Josie found a nice warm place
  • But then the sheriff solved the case
  • Hoped to find josies face
  • And said lookie here...
  • Sheriff rode him into town
  • With josie look inside
  • He didnt know about the six-gun
  • Wicked josie had
  • Then josie drew his gun real fast
  • Gave the sheriff one big blast
  • And josie was a song at last
  • A legend from the past
  • Nobody ever messed with the sheriff
